My Big Fat Chip

I started this post last week and deleted it.  After all, I was happy!  Alabama was #1 in the AP and #2 in the BCS rankings, and should have been #1 in the coaches poll. So, I overlooked that ESPN.com had photographs of a Florida player and a Texas player as their top story.  And, I ignored that Alabama's win over #22 South Carolina was only the sixth headline story. They did the obligatory story on UA's Mark Ingram being a stronger contender for the all-elusive Heisman at Alabama; even then, it was a split photo with Master "God bless" Tebow.

Today, however, Pete Carroll and USC's game is the top story photograph. Hello?  I had to scroll all the way down to the bloggers' section to find a picture of Coach Saban, the only reference to UA.  Correction: there's a story about the University of Tennessee and their next three upcoming games and UA is one of those games.

Do I have a big fat chip on my shoulder about this?  Yes. I do.  I am, after all, I die-hard Alabama Crimson Tide fan.  I have reminded myself that it shouldn't matter; we can leave it all on the field with a big win against UT tomorrow.  As far as I'm concerned, they can show up in any color jersey they want.  We'll take those penalty yards, thank you very much.  Georgia showed up in black last year and look what happened to them.
